Upcoming i.MX 8M Plus based modules

Varisciteā€™s upcomingĀ VAR-SOM-MX8M-PLUSĀ andĀ DART-MX8M-PLUSĀ platforms are both powered by i.MX 8M Plus, the latest addition to NXPā€™s i.MX 8M application processors family. The modules are running on a 1.8GHz quad Cortexā„¢-A53 ARM 64-bit core with 800MHz Cortexā„¢-M7 real-time co-processor.

VAR-SOM-MX8M-PLUSĀ andĀ DART-MX8M-PLUSĀ Features

The modules provided by Variscite include an intelligent vision system with Image Signal Processor (ISP), an integrated 2.3 TOPS Neural Processing Unit (NPU), and dual camera interfaces. These features provide the foundation for the modulsā€™ unique Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning capabilities.

The modules also offer advanced multimedia capabilities along with extensive connectivity options such as H.265 HD video encode/decode, high performance 2D/3D GPU, up to 4K HDMI, HD LVDS, high-quality voice processing, DSI certified dual-band Wi-Fi, BT/BLE, dual USB3, dual GbE, dual CAN-FD, and PCIe.

Varisciteā€™s Pin-to-Pin compatibility

TheĀ VAR-SOM-MX8M-PLUSĀ and theĀ DART-MX8M-PLUSĀ differ in dimensions and their Pin-to-Pin family compatibility. The VAR-SOM-MX8M-PLUS is a member of the VAR-SOM Pin2Pin product family, providing extensive scalability options; starting from i.MX6UL/6ULL modules, through i.MX 6, i.MX 8M Nano, i.MX 8M Mini, up to i.MX 8X and i.MX 8QuadMax based modules.
